(no subject)
last year, two days before my
birthday, I wrote a journal entry. now, I'm going to repost it, because
it is again that time of year.
I quote, and my changes are in red:
"I'm in kind of an emo mood. My birthday is in one day, and I'm turning fifteen. woohoo... I mean, yeah, that's great... but I don't see why my birthday has to be that big of a deal. I might sound like a freak saying this, but I dont want a big party or presents or anything. All my life people have been giving me things, but I've learned that what they say is true, I would so much rather GIVE things to other people than recieve, thats what makes me TRULY happy. And, people have been saying, you know, "what do you you want for your birthday?" and I'll say "nothing." Then they just think I'm being nice, but I really would rather not have people give me THINGS. Things aren't important to me anymore, they can't make me happy. sure, its nice having things, but having some big party revolving all around ME doesnt sound all that great. I'm just so happy for all the friends that I've made within the past year at coastline and school, if you're reading this, thanks. and just a nice "happy birthday" and a smile is quite enough of a present for me."
I was going to write a journal entry, but last year's entry covers it.
